Dopaminergic mechanism underlying reward-encoding of punishment omission during reversal learning in Drosophila

Unexpected omission of aversive outcome is encoded as reward via activation of reward-encoding dopaminergic neurons in animals. The authors identify the Drosophila neural circuit through which reward-encoding dopaminergic neurons are activated when an olfactory cue is no longer paired with punishmen...
